    Todd Gutterman - President Greetings, everyone! Welcome to the 2021 Minnesota Selects Hockey Festival! I want to acknowledge the events of the past 18 months. We have all faced many unforeseen challenges, both within and beyond the hockey world. For the safety of everyone involved, the Minnesota Selects Executive Board made the difficult decisions to cancel the 2020 Festival and delay the 2021 Festival until now. While the dates have changed for this year, players and fans will still enjoy many of the features that have made our Festival great since its debut in 1989: * No gate fee. * High-quality jerseys with player names lettered on the back. * Saturday’s Skills Competition (a fan fave!) with prizes. * Sunday’s awards program, including individual player recognition and a strong focus on recognizing our student athletes. * The college-level program with a complete history of the Festival’s participants. * A weekend of great competition, excitement, and fun! On behalf of Minnesota Selects, I want to thank our 680 players and the coaches, families, friends, and volunteers for all the time, planning, and commitment it takes to make our tournament the success that it is and always has been. It’s been a long wait, but we are excited to be back for our 33rd year!

  • Nhl Morning Skate: Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition – May 23, 2021
    NHL MORNING SKATE: STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS EDITION – MAY 23, 2021 THREE HARD LAPS * Nikita Kucherov joined elite company with his sixth career three-assist game in the postseason as the Lightning pushed the Panthers to the brink of elimination. * After a historic regular season in which he climbed to the third-most regular-season wins in NHL history, Marc-Andre Fleury continued his ascent of another all-time list as he blanked the Wild and helped the Golden Knights move within one win of the Second Round. * The Presidents’ Trophy-winning Avalanche can achieve a rare feat today as they attempt to become the first team to advance to the Second Round of the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs. KUCHEROV HELPS DEFENDING CHAMPS MOVE WITHIN ONE WIN OF SECOND ROUND Nikita Kucherov (1-3—4) became the first player in Lightning history to record four or more points in a postseason game three times and Alex Killorn (2-2—4) posted a career-high four points as the defending Stanley Cup champions moved within one win of advancing to the 2021 Second Round. * Kucherov, who capped his performance by scoring Tampa Bay’s seventh power-play goal of the series, assisted on three of his team’s first four goals. Saturday’s outing also marked Kucherov’s sixth career playoff game with at least three helpers – the most among active players. * Since Kucherov made his postseason debut during the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Lightning have registered an NHL-best 57 wins over that span – eight more than the next- closest team (PIT: 49).
